But that doesn't explain why they wear those great, big furry hats.
Those great, big furry hats you refer to are bearskin helmets.
They're formal yet maintain a military feel, which is perfectly appropriate for protecting the royal palace.
Or for having lunch at the water buffalo lodge.
Water buffalo lodge? Yeah, you know that social club where Fred Flintstone goes with his little friend Barney rubble? - Heads up! - Oh! Richard Tibbles, trusts and estates.
I work here with your wife.
Um, under your wife.
I mean, for her.
Not that I'm ever physically under her.
Thank you, Richard.
I'm here to help you make some decisions about your estate, should the time come for you to, um, uh Get squashed to death by a falling air-conditioner? Most people wind up here after some sort of freak accident, but you can rest assured it's not gonna be the air-conditioner that gets you.
It's gonna be the cancer.
That's reassuring.
Hey.
Wow! Relax.
She's not here.
I don't care, all right? This whole sneaking around the office business is getting really old.
I know, but, come on, I haven't seen much of you lately.
Aw.
It's kind of hard having two girlfriends, isn't it? It is now.
Oh, this isn't the time for jokes, is it? It's just being alone on the holidays sucks, especially with all the couply things going on.
Christmas sucked and then new year's sucked, and now my dad's wedding is coming up.
That's gonna suck, too.
Your dad's wedding isn't exactly a holiday.
Yeah, well, it's gonna be decorated like one.
Let me ask you something.
For the wedding, do you get to bring a guest? Why? I look pretty good in a tux.
Shut up.
Yeah, it's powder blue, a lot of ruffles.
Yeah, yeah.
Are you being serious? You'd actually come with me? Would that make you feel better? It'd give me something to look forward to.
Okay.
I'll find a way to shake Trish.
I'll take the office hug now.
- Will you? - I will.
- Hey.
- What? That was office tongue.
Hey.
Oh, hey.
Hi.
Hi.
When'd you get back? Last night.
How about you? Yeah, same, same.
So, did you get my gift? Yes.
I'm sorry I didn't call.
It was really thoughtful.
Kind of expensive, though.
You're worth it.
Thank you.
Look, it was really sweet, and the songs you picked -- the songs were amazing.
Thank you.
I put a lot into it.
The thing is, though, Joel, it's kind of like a boyfriend gift.
I know.
Why are you doing this? What? Why did you kiss me? It just -- it felt like the right time.
The right time? Your timing could not have been worse.
I know.
I wish I hadn't have waited at all.
I wish I would've just kissed you that first night after we met, when we got lost together on the lower east side.
Oh, yeah.
And we stopped and asked that guy with the neck bolt piercings for directions.
See, what I remember is, um, when we stopped on the corner outside that clothing store, and all the pink light from that neon sign was, like, shining down on your face, and you looked so beautiful, and I wanted to kiss you so badly, but I didn't.
I didn't know.
Well, now you do.
So, that brings us to organ donation.
Have either of you given it any thought? I definitely want to be a donor for sure.
- Me too.
- Oh, really? Yeah.
Except not my eyes.
Yeah, I just can't imagine my eyes looking out of someone else's head.
I just can't.
But, darling, your eyes are just so beautiful.
It's just such a shame to keep that beauty from the world.
- Bob.
- Yeah? That is so sweet.
You know what? Give them my eyes, yeah.
All right, next.
Have the two of you discussed the disposition of your remains? Cremation for sure.
All the way, cremation.
- Me too! - Really? I mean, burial is just a big lie.
You know, the big wood box, nice silk lining, comfy pillow -- but the bugs are coming.
They're coming.
They're gonna get ya.
Darling, that's my thinking exactly, yeah.
High five for cremation.
My wife wants to be frozen, but I'm not gonna do it.
She won't know.
All right, next, um -- guardianship.
Who would you like to entrust your child or children with in the event of your untimely deaths.
That one's easy.
Ann Sorelli.
High five for Ann Sorelli! Do we have to answer this now? What? We can leave it blank, but then the decision will be made by a judge.
Bob, the decision can't be made by the judge.
I'm not saying that.
Put down Ann Sorelli.
No, you know what? Don't do that.
What about my parents? Put down Ann Sorelli.
Don't you think we should discuss this first? No.
There's nothing to discuss, Bob! Bloody hell.
Richard, you work for me.
Put down Ann Sorelli.
You can't just pull rank like that.
Yes, I can.
No, you can't.
Ann Sorelli.
My parents.
And then Yes? Well, you take the egg whites and you beat 'em with a fork, not with a whisk -- that's really important.
Ann, let me stop you right there.
Not that this doesn't sound like a delicious frittata, but this is the third session where you've taught me how to cook something.
Why are you telling me this? I don't know.
Um, nothing else going on? Or might you be avoiding what's really going on? Dr.
Shapiro, I'm not avoiding.
I mean, actually I'm loving my life right now.
I'm having fun, you know? I'm hanging out with Zack, and we're going to these late-night parties and concerts.
And, I mean, I'm doing all of these things that I never got to do.
Don't you think you're avoiding spending time alone? No.
Actually the only thing that I am avoiding right now is Denise.
Ah, the patient you mentioned last week, the one you keep canceling.
Yes, she is painfully boring, this woman.
She doesn't need therapy.
Okay, her biggest problem -- multiple orgasms.
That's not a problem! I mean, she's got this perfect little house, you know, and this perfect husband and these three kids and 2.
2 dogs.
I'm serious.
She's got this chihuahua that's like this big.
You can't count that as a do-- is my time up yet? Do you think you could work on something for me? Tonight, instead of going out, I'd like you to spend some time alone.
Have a quiet night, do some thinking.
About what? Look at all the things that you're avoiding at this point in time, and find the connection between them.
Try journaling.
Great, yeah.
I mean, I give you this amazing frittata recipe and 190 bucks, and you give me homework.
See you next week.
Hi, darling, I made chicken.
Your parents? I can't believe you actually think I would leave my baby with a woman who doesn't like me.
Her not liking you has nothing to do with it, does it? 'Cause you'll be dead.
Bob, it's half my baby.
So if she doesn't like me, she's not gonna like half our baby.
All right.
You know, my parents might not be the best choice.
Thank you.
So, then we're back to Ann.
No.
God, no.
Why?! It's Tom and Rebecca.
- Tom and Rebecca? - Yeah.
All right.
When we first discussed the possibility of having kids, hat did you used to say, huh? - "I want Ann.
" - No, it wasn't.
Come on, it was, "I only hope we can be half the parents Tom and Rebecca are.
" Plus their kids are adopted, so we know they're great in taking kids in.
And you have to admit, their children are so fantastic.
Tom and Rebecca are not family, Bob.
Back to bloody Ann, then, all right? Yeah, what -- I mean, honestly, what is your deal? Sweetheart, you know I think Ann is fantastic.
And three months ago, when she was with Danny, of course there would be no problem, honestly.
But now she -- But now what? What's wrong with her now? There's nothing wrong with her, darling.
It's just that when she was with Danny, her life was stable.
She just got out of a 6-year relationship, okay? Maybe she just wants something a little less serious right now.
Okay, well, when your sisters come over for dinner tomorrow night, we'll, uh, we'll talk to her.
About what? About whether or not she's ready to raise a kid, whether or not she's ready to settle down.
Is she only sowing her wild oats, or is this a lifestyle choice? You cannot ask her those questions, Bob.
Then she's gonna know you're not considering her, and I don't want her to know that! Darling, I know this is your precious sister, all right, but this isn't about hurting somebody's feelings.
It's about what's best for our child.
Okay, fine.
It's obvious that we're not gonna settle this tonight, okay, but you have to promise that you will not ask her these questions tomorrow night.
This is between you and I, and we have to figure this out.
Agreed.
Good.
Ah, what about Griffin? Your brother Griffin? The one that lives alone with the iguana and likes to clean it with a toothbrush? I find that endearing.
"I am avoiding" Hey.
So? So, what's going on? Not much here.
What's going on down there -- any parties? Well, there's a party on the fourth floor.
Some people are getting together to see the shins.
And then later, there's a party in my pants.
Yeah, well, as charming as that sounds, I'm not really convinced.
What are you wearing? Um, boxers and a t-shirt.
What are you wearing? Oh.
Just a sexy little thong.
Yeah? What else? And some high heels.
Ooh, nice.
Um, how long is it gonna take you to get here? I'm not sure I can.
My therapist gave me homework.
Hmm, that's important.
On the other hand, tequila shots and sex.
You make a valid point.
I'll be right there.
Joe, look -- Patrick sent pictures.
Oh, here he is on the beach in front of that Bed and Breakfast he said he was restoring.
That's nice.
He's looking awfully chummy with that muscular fellow.
Renee? Your son is gay.
I had a feeling, but you don't want to assume.
Anyway, Marjee, I wanted to ask you, what do you think of these bridesmaids' dresses? They look great.
Who are your bridesmaids? You guys, if it's okay.
Let me -- let me see this again.
Oh.
Uh, yeah.
I don't know if these are gonna work.
Well, how would you do it? Uh, bridesmaids' dresses? Black.
Your dress? Ivory.
Nothing sparkly.
Off-the-shoulder, no train, no veil.
You walk down the aisle to a string quartet playing "the way you look tonight," and you carry a simple bouquet of lilies.
I like it.
Well, I do do this for a living, so Would you consider it? What? Planning our wedding.
No.
We'll pay the fee.
You could use the extra money to move out, get your own place.
Okay, my fee is $5,000.
What?! I want a doorman building.
Hi -- hi, Rose.
Hey, Zack.
Hey, Rose.
Hey, Ann.
I thought you were staying in tonight.
Yeah, I was, but then Zack was having a party in his pants, so So I found these really romantic centerpieces for dad and Renee.
They got candles intertwined with the flowers.
They're kind of flammable, but they're affordable.
So I figured, you know Wow, you're really getting into this.
I thought you would've hated having to plan their wedding.
The key is I'm not thinking about it as planning dad and Renee's wedding.
It's more like I'm planning this fantastic party that I get to take Jason to.
You're taking Jason to the wedding? Try to sound a little less judgmental, Rose.
Okay? Yeah, well, I was.
Oh, ew, my mat smells.
Will you switch with me? No.
- Come on, smell it.
- I'm not gonna smell your mat.
- I'll smell yours.
- Mine doesn't smell! - Scootch over, then.
- Oh, god.
You're bossy now that you're a ho.
Oh, I think you mean "selfish ho.
" No, I didn't say "selfish.
" I said "self-involved.
" Oh, yeah, that's much better.
Well, anyway, I'm sorry.
Uh, I didn't mean it.
I was pissed off about other things.
I took it out on you.
Yeah, well, I forgive you.
Good.
Speaking of self-involved, what is going on with your men? Huh? You doing 'em both or are you gonna pick one? - I love the way you say things.
- Sorry.
Are you gonna make love to them both, or are you going to pick one? I don't know.
I'm so confused.
What is this -- old Joel stuff or new Joel stuff? Joel kissed me again today.
Whoa! Well, was it like a hot, good kiss, or was it like one of those tongue stabby things? I hate the tongue stabbers.
He's not a tongue stabber.
He's good.
Good? Alex good? Different.
I don't know.
I'm so used to thinking of him as a friend.
- A friend can be hot.
- I know.
I think about being with Joel and I know it could be amazing, but I don't want to lose Alex.
All right, well, you got to look at it like this.
You can only have one, right? So which one would you most regret not having? Ohh, I hate the guy thing.
I wish I was a lesbian.
No, 'cause then you'd just be here like, "I like Amy, I like the way she kisses, but Lisa just is so fun.
" Is there anything you want to talk about, Marjee? Rose.
She wants to be a lesbian.
Yeah, I get that.
I'm so looking forward to this class.
I totally need the workout.
Ann, you missed the class.
Oh, thank god 'cause I don't have the energy.
Hi there.
Hi there.
Can I help you with something? Well, I'm looking for Marjee Sorelli.
She stepped out.
Is there something I can help you with? Oh, are you her associate? Yes, I associate with her.
Um, may I ask who you are and why you're here? I'm Renee Butler.
Marjee is planning our wedding.
I don't recall a Butler affair.
Well, perhaps the memo never made its way around to you.
Perhaps it didn't, yeah.
That Marjee is really a spark plug, isn't she? You've got to give it your all to keep up with her, don't you? Oh.
Oh, here.
These must be the wedding invitations.
Trish.
Marjee, welcome to the day.
I was just having a chat here with Ms.
Butler.
Hi.
W-what exactly was Ms.
Butler chatting with you about? Well, apparently she says that you're planning her wedding, and she seems to think that perhaps you forgot to send me, your associate, the memo.
I can explain, I can explain.
Hey, Renee, why don't you check out these invitations and pick out one you like, and I'm gonna go talk to Trish.
Oh, I don't know if I can choose.
They just look super! You already said that.
You're sneaking jobs behind my back? No! Kind of.
I mean, technically yes, but no.
No buts, Marjee.
I should just fire your ass right now.
But Ms.
Butler is getting married to my father.
- That's still stealing.
- Look, Trish! I would've brought her to you, but she has the worst -- I mean, the worst -- taste in the whole entire world.
She's going for tacky here, all right? You do not want your name anywhere near this event.
Trust me.
Trish, please! Okay, listen, my mother died 15 years ago, and my father, he raised us all by himself, okay? He put us through school, everything.
The only way that I could even imagine giving anything back to him would be by planning him this perfect wedding.
Okay, did you just play the dead mom card on me? Yes, I did.
Did it work? Ugh.
I suppose.
Wow.
Really? Yeah, you got it.
What, what? It -- the big it.
I'm gonna make your father's wedding a Trish Houghton event.
No, Trish, that's not what I'm -- Nonsense.
Jason! Yes? You should not have to work at your own father's wedding.
Jason, we're gonna be doing the Butler wedding.
Uh, wasn't that the weekend you were supposed to visit your parents? Uh, they're busy.
My dad's having bypass surgery.
Great, then, so you're coming.
You're gonna be at the wedding, all three of us.
All three of us at the wedding.
Whoo! Jason, you should wear your blue zegna.
He looks great in zegna.
I found it, I found it! We'll do this invitation with Lucy and Schroeder as a little bride and groom! Oh, my god, what have I done? Is that the famous Sorelli stroganoff I can smell, darling? It's chicken parm.
I don't know why I bother.
I can't smell a bloody thing.
Hello, Ann.
Hey, how's it going? Mmm! Chicken parm.
Show-off.
Can I get you some wine? No, it'll just make me sleepy.
Oh, great.
Vodka doesn't, though.
With a splash of cranberry, please? Oh! So, what is it, you know -- wine is sleepy juice and vodka is awake juice? Yeah, pretty much.
And then there's gin.
That makes me mean.
Tequila makes me horny, and beer makes me pee.
Did you hear that, Ginnie? And there I was, just thinking booze was plain old booze.
Yeah.
Zack has taught me a lot.
Zack, huh? You're enjoying the party lifestyle, are you, darling? You know what? I'm having fun.
It's fun to have fun.
Yeah.
It's fun.
Did you hear that, Ginnie? "Fun.
" Fun.
So, is it like, you know, that you're sowing your wild oats, or is it a lifestyle choice? You know what? I forgot the grocery bag in the car with the balsamic.
I need it.
Can you go grab it? Okay.
Thank you.
Okay.
This looks good.
It smells amazing.
Oh, it does.
- Is there anything I can do? - No, not at all.
- Are you sure? - Yeah.
Okay, we have a problem.
Listen, I want you to be our baby's godmother.
- Oh, my gosh.
- No time for that right now.
I want you to be the godmother, but Bob -- kind of on the fence.
What do you mean? Bob's on the fence about me? I'll kill him.
I know.
We can do that later, but right now we have to focus.
We have to focus on convincing him that you are the right choice.
Why is he on the fence? It's just that since you and Danny broke up, it's -- you know, you've been a bit - Slutty? - And - Irresponsible? - And I'm not really making a good case for myself, am I? Listen, talking points.
Children? You love them.
Want to meet the right guy and settle down? Immediately.
Family dog? Thumbs up.
Okay, got it.
But if you and Bob don't die, you really should work on your communication skills.
I know.
Go, go, go.
Hi! Yeah, hello, girls.
Thank you so much for holding the elevator for me.
Oh, that was you, Bob? Hi, honey.
There's no grocery bags in the car.
Well, we're gonna have to do without the balsamic.
Isn't this the balsamic right here? Yeah, it is.
It is.
It's -- it's the pregnancy.
It was -- whoo! So, now I can't even bring Jason as my date to the wedding because he's gonna be there with his damn girlfriend.
So, wait a minute.
Um, your boss is doing you this huge favor, and now you can't take her boyfriend as your date? You should be incensed.
Ann, Ann, Ann, your glass house -- it's about to come down.
Oh, no, no, no.
No coming down of the glass houses.
You had sex last night in the dorm shower with your 20-year-old boyfriend.
- Really? - You told her that? If you wanted it to be a secret, why'd you do it in a public shower? Oh, god.
There was just some stuff I needed to get out of my system.
Is there stuff in your system, Ann, that you need to get out, is there? Okay, good.
You know what I really want? What you guys have -- a loving, committed, beautiful relationship centered on family, which is really the most important thing.
Okay, what the hell are you talking about? I thought you were going through this massive sexual awakening.
Who wants fruit salad? Fruit salad? We just started eating chicken.
Okay, I'm gonna get some fruit salad.
Come help me -- Marjee, Rose.
Help you get the fruit salad? Come on, it'll be fun.
Come on.
Okay.
Why do you need both of us? Because you guys are killing me here.
Listen, me and Bob are going through a little thing.
I want Ann to be the godmother of our kid, but he wants our friends Tom and Rebecca.
- Why can't it be me? - Or me? You're too young.
And, you, do I really need to list the reasons? You could at least pretend to consider me first.
Okay, but you have to say really nice things about Ann for the rest of the meal, or I'll kill you.
- Capiche? - Capiche.
Fine, I'll do it.
I'm not gonna say "capiche.
" Ha ha ha! Fruit! Yeah, we got some fruit salad.
Fruit salad.
You know what this reminds me of? Ann.
Yeah, completely.
I mean, she's so health-conscious.
When we were kids, even on Halloween she wouldn't let us go crazy on the candy.
She'd be like, "guys, maybe you'd like to try an apple instead.
" Yeah, you know, I don't have any cavities because of Ann.
She's like a mom.
Yeah, like a cool mom.
Okay, uh, yeah, good.
Do you think I'm an idiot? Huh? Well, you told me not to go to Ann, but obviously you did behind my back.
Only because you started asking her questions, and you said you weren't gonna use tonight to conduct your little interview.
It is not my fault she had sex in a dorm shower.
I don't see where my sister having sex is relevant to her parenting skills.
It's not where she chooses to have sex.
It's the reckless lifestyle she's choosing to lead.
I don't think we should discuss this in front of Ann.
Ann would appreciate that.
I cannot believe you, Bob.
It's better we find out now than after we're dead.
Oh, that doesn't even make any sense.
Oh, come on.
She has a different alcohol for every mood.
Okay, fine.
You know what? You're right.
Ann is a bit of a mess today.
But if you and I die tomorrow, Ann would rise to the occasion, and you know she would.
No, I don't.
Oh, come on, Bob Well, um, I'm gonna -- I'm gonna go.
Hey.
What happened to you last night? You were supposed to come over.
Yeah, we need to talk.
About what? Uh-oh.
Sounds serious.
Shahab, do you mind giving us a moment? So, no sex and you're still kicking me out.
Thank you.
Yeah, thanks, Shahab.
So, what's -- what's going on? Bob was talking about how he doesn't want me to be the godmother of their baby because of how I've been acting lately.
How have you been acting? Like a kid.
I mean, this -- the drinking all night, the partying, the staying up.
I can't do this anymore.
Wait, wait.
What does one thing have to do with the other? You don't want to party? Fine.
Why does that mean that we're over? Well, I have a hard time picturing you in an adult, civilized relationship.
Try me.
Zack, honestly -- You can't just walk in here and break up with me for that reason without giving me a chance.
I don't care about this stuff, about the partying.
What I care about is you.
All right, fine.
We'll stay at my place tonight.
We'll order in chinese food and watch old black-and-white movies.
You got it.
Should I bring my bong? I'm kidding.
Yeah, I know.
It was funny.
Okay, I just got off the phone with Renee, and she just asked if we could do an ice sculpture of a toucan.
God, she is just not letting that ice sculpture go.
If we can make this wedding even remotely tasteful, it'll be a miracle.
Oh, I've got to go.
All right.
Sherman had that cyst taken off her tush, and I have to be there before she wakes up, or she'll be very frightened.
So, I guess now you're going to the wedding with Trish.
Sweet! I'll be there in a taffeta bridesmaid's dress, and you'll be there with Trish.
It's like a dream come true.
Oh, god, why does she have to pick now to be nice to me? It's like even when she's nice to me, she screws me.
I promise I'll make it up to you.
We'll pick a night.
I'll shake Trish and we can go to my place, order in.
No.
What? It's just really not enough anymore.
What do you mean? I mean that I don't want to always have to shake Trish, okay? I want to be able to take you to weddings, and I want to go out on real dates with you, like in public where people can see us.
Jason, I want to be with you, okay? And I don't want it to be a secret, and I don't want it to be something that makes me feel ashamed.
I didn't know you felt that way.
How could I not? Every time I'm with my sisters and I try to tell them the story about, oh, this great guy Jason that I'm dating, they look away.
I can't even describe to you how awful that makes me feel.
I-I'm sorry, Marjee.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, me too.
I hate Bob.
What, did he cheat on you? 'Cause I know a guy.
You don't know a guy.
I'm italian, I own a deli.
I probably should.
Dad, no, he didn't cheat.
Look, it's just we can't agree on who will take care of our child if we both should die.
I mean, I, of course, think it should be Ann, and he has some ridiculous idea that it should be our friends Tom and Rebecca because they're great parents.
They adopt orphans and crap.
That's understandable.
It is wrong.
It is wrong but understandable.
We cannot agree, and there is no compromising on this.
What are we gonna do, dad? Honey, you compromise.
What? Sit down.
Honey Your mother and I had a rule, okay? It was never your mother and me against each other.
It was always your mother and me against the problem.
You remember when you threw a rock and you hit Billy Mustachi in the eye? Yeah, I was punished for a month.
That's right.
See, I wanted to reward you.
I hated that little son of a bitch.
I was gonna take you for ice cream.
Your mother went nuts on me.
She couldn't tolerate any kind of violence.
You know that.
You were the one that yelled at me and threw me in my room.
That's right, because it was your mother and me against the problem.
So you're saying I should forget my beliefs just to keep the peace? No, sometimes it works both ways.
Remember that ski trip you wanted to take with Jeanie Bonacci? Your mom didn't want you to go.
She was worried you were gonna break one of your legs, all right? But I told her it would be okay.
I thought you should go.
Your mom said, "okay.
" But I did break my leg.
Your mom was a wise woman.
Yeah.
You're bored.
No, no.
I love Grace Kelly.
Yeah, me too.
That's Tippi Hedren.
Oh! Hey, man.
Um, hanging out with Ann.
Uh, no, we're staying in tonight.
Yes, I'm serious.
No, she didn't have an abortion.
Listen, have fun.
I got to go.
Okay.
Nice.
Yo.
It doesn't matter what time she goes to bed.
I'm not sneaking out.
I not only heard you, I could hear him.
I got to go.
Listen, you know what? I'm just gonna shut it off.
If you want to go, you should go.
No, no, no, I want to stay right here with you.
Whoa! What's with all the birds? It's Hitchcock's "The Birds.
" Hey.
Hey.
When did you get back? Just now.
I've been driving all morning, but I was hoping I'd see you before I went to bed.
Well, here I am.
Yeah, you look good.
Thanks.
So do you.
Not that I looked.
It's okay.
You can look.
Good, 'cause I did.
I missed you.
Me too.
Wait.
I can't.
I'm sorry.
Why? Is it because your sister had sex in here? Oh, my god, you know about that, too? It's kind of getting around.
Okay, well, want to go to my room? I'd like to, but What's wrong? Nothing, I just -- I-I have to do something first.
It's not you, I promise, but I can't do this right now.
Hell, I've waited this long.
It's starting to get kind of fun.
Evening.
That's it? What do you mean? Well, you usually say, "good evening, love.
" Sorry love.
Did you have a nice shower? Yes, it was very relaxing.
Where'd you go? I went for a walk.
Are you gonna ask me where I was? Where were you, Ginnie? I went to talk with my father.
Oh, great.
What did he say? He's gonna slice me up like a bit of black forest ham in his deli? No, he did not say that.
- Really? - Really.
He said it should be you and me against the problem, not you and me against each other.
Just give me a minute, all right? I just have to let that bit of paternal wisdom seep in.
Has it seeped? It seeped.
But if it's us against the problem, darling, what are we saying the problem is? I guess it's the idea of this baby growing up without us is just so I think that's it.
So what are we gonna do about the godparent thing? All right.
If it's us against the problem, we have to figure out that simple solution, no? Fair and square.
What are you suggesting? Heads or tails? The fate of our child is gonna depend on a coin? Sweetheart, have you got a better idea? 'Cause I'm out.
Tails.
It's not just about the fact that we may not be able to see this child growing up, but we lost our mother, you know, and I don't think we would've been able to get through it as well as we did if we didn't have family, you know? And to lose both parents, I just -- I can't imagine going through something like that without having family.
Tails.
Really? Oh, dear god.
Oh, god.
If it means that much to you, it can't be wrong.
It does.
It really does.
Yeah? Come here.
Thank you.
No way.
You're hanging out with the shins? Wow.
Where? Oh, I don't think I can make it.
Zack.
Let me call you back.
I think you should go.
Oh, no, no, it was vibrating.
No, you're 20 years old.
You want to be out with the shins, and you should be.
Go with me.
I tried that, and it wasn't good for me.
And you're not where I'm at, and that's okay.
I just think that we need to be honest with ourselves and say goodbye.
You know, if we break up, my cool factor is gonna go down 30%.
I would've thought more.
You have one unheard message.
Hey, it's Jason.
I wanted to know if I could see you tonight.
I made reservations for dinner at Prizzi's at 8:00.
I hope you'll be there.
Hey.
Am I late? No, no, no, I'm just early.
Here.
I got us something -- hot chocolate and a baguette straight out of the oven.
I don't want any hot chocolate.
No, no, here.
It's good.
Joel, stop being so nice.
What? It's just hot chocolate.
No, it's not.
I don't get it.
Look, you're a really amazing friend.
I just don't think that we should -- Oh, my god, I don't believe this.
Okay, don't be mad at me.
I just -- No, you know what? It's -- it's cool.
No.
You need to know how important you are to me.
Okay, I get it, I get it.
I know how the rest of this goes.
This doesn't mean that we still can't be friends.
Yeah, Rose, it does because I'm not gonna be this guy for you anymore, okay -- the guy that brings the stupid hot chocolate and the bread.
I just -- I'm -- I'm done.
Joel.
And just so you know, when this all blows up with Alex, I'm not gonna be waiting in the wings.
May I take your coat? Yeah.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Enjoy.
Hey, I'm glad you came.
Nice place.
Yeah.
I really wanted to bring you somewhere special.
Why? What do you mean, why? Why this place? Why did you bring me here? When you're doing what I've been doing these last couple months, the only way you can look at yourself in the mirror is if you don't do a hell of a lot of thinking about it.
But yesterday, after we talked and you left like you did, I You know, last night Trish and I were supposed to go to this dinner, this fancy dinner, but they didn't have our reservation, so we ended up at this french fry stand and got a couple of cones and started walking along the river.
And it was one of those new york nights, you know? Where it's crisp and you can see your breath.
It was one of the most romantic nights Trish and I have ever had.
Okay, why are you telling me this? Because last night Trish was at her very best.
And even at her very best, all I could think about was you.
I'm gonna leave her, Marjee.
I want to be with you.
Hi.
Sorry I'm late.
No, no, no.
We're just so glad you came.
So -- But you know what? I'll start.
I heard what you guys said.
Oh, I'm so sorry, Ann.
No, it's fine.
Actually you did me a favor.
What? I've been acting like a child lately, and I haven't really wanted to admit that or really think about why.
And then when I heard you guys arguing -- well, I didn't have a choice.
The thing is, I thought that I'd be married by now.
I do want the house and the kids and the picket fence and the dog, but instead I'm kind of nowhere.
I had imagined this whole future with Danny.
And when we broke up, I dealt with the loss of the guy.
I guess I just -- I didn't realize everything else that I'd be giving up.
Oh, honey.
You know what? I just wanted you guys to know that I get it and you were right.
Okay.
Ann? Yeah? Well, we have a question.
We wanted to know if you would do us the honor of being our baby's godmother.
Really? Yeah, of course.
Oh, my god, you guys.
I don't even know what to say.
I-I just -- I promise that I will not let you down, and I'm gonna be such a good mom to your baby, and I'm gonna love it so hard.
Honey, we know, we know.
But, I mean, you do know that we have to die first.
Oh, yeah, of course.
